for some reason whenever i am playing an apocalypse game with my brother he keeps getting his anggron into close combat with my stompa and beating it. How can i keep him away so i can kill him in shooting

Walk backwards?
Serisouly though short of feeding him speeedbump inits not much.
Get lots of shooting. I mean like your entire army shooting and shoot only him.
That might do it.

Try converting it into a Klawstrompa, more attacks and further charge bonus, so you may be able to get valueble charge bonuses. Also, load it up with PK Nobz, with S9 Power Weapons, a 4++ can only save you for so long...

What are the stats of Angron? Also needs some idea what are your other units at the field.

Needs more dakka . Only thing I can suggest is field more guns and infantry to swamp him/slow him down.

Get loads of grots squads and use them to slow him down. Make sure he assaults you not the other way round.
Use them in long chains so he can't go around you.

If he's deploying like a regular Daemon, take the Disruptor Beacon asset. He'll have a 50% chance of allowing you to deploy him, so then you can DS him into a useless area, or right in front of your heavy weaponry, or even get him boxed in by terrain.

Deploy him behind all of his other troops so it takes ages for him to get into combat.

load it up with nobz. When he gets near, disembark.
always have a few units of boyz in front (in groups of 30, spread out)

Vortex grenade!!!


if that fails shoot him with your Stompa's vast array of Guns. the Supa gattla should shave a few wounds off.

have a vortex grenade ona warboss, who is embarked inside. when he gets within 12", jump out, run at him and lob it. failing that, you still have a T5 2+Sv S8 monster of a mushroom in the way.
